My weight never changed until I was 30. Then my metabolism started slowing down--as everybody does--and I had two choices: eat less or exercise more. I chose the latter.I ate like a horse till about a year ago, mabe turning 30 made my stomach shrink
That sounds very tasty, both the Asian shrimp and the ciabatta. I've cooked both and hope to cook them again soon!Some spicy Asian marinated shrimp with roasted garlic ciabatta and a veggie.
Will cook up some Fajitas latter but just finished a bowl of Roasted Pumpkin Soup

Thanks to this diet, I've lost 30 lbs as of today.
Nope, don't do gyro sandwiches. I might do some sandwiches in pita (It can't be a gyro if it wasn't cooked on something that rotates. ) Thanks for the idea. I should start some yogourt cheese tonight, so I can make some tzatziki.
I'm thinking shepherd's pie tomorrow.[/QUOTE
tzatziki, that's the ticket! great with lamb, among others. shepherd's pie sounds wonderful to me too. rarely have i ever had it made with lamb, as it should be, rightfully.

I've had some white ones, but they didn't have purple skin. The ones I've had looked more like a regular potato in color and are not as sweet.Those sweet potatoes sound great! In South Africa the sweet potatoes have purple skins and the flesh is white and only slightly sweet.
Have you ever had the white ones? Do the orange ones taste different?

We have so many varieties of sweet potatoes in the store where I shop. Probably a half dozen. My favorites are a variety called Garnet, followed by Jewels. There is also a variety called Beauregard, which are very good, though I don't see them as often.
I hadn't thought of that, but technically speaking the turntable does gyrate, so I would say yes.does my microwave qualify to make gyros? it rotates.
I finally cooked that leg of lamb. I followed the recipe here: Farmgirl Fare: Recipe: Slow Roasted Greek Style Leg of Lamb with Lemon, Oregano, Potatoes, and Swiss Chard. I had beet greens, so I substituted those for the Swiss chard. The beet greens were okay. The potatoes were good, but a bit too lemony and I never fished out the garlic, because by the time the potatoes were coming out of the oven, I was just too busy and they were hiding.
The lamb was good enough that I stuffed myself, but it isn't the ultimate leg of lamb recipe I'm looking for.
We had the rest of the strawberry mousse from yesterday for dessert.
DH is still raving about tonight's dinner!
We used to go to a local restaurant called "Wings" that has wing night every Sunday. You get 10 wings of one type (there are over 30) for $3.90 and we usually ordered two or three kinds with a Caesar salad. However, we stopped because they dredge the wings in flour which DH can't have.
So tonight I made Salt and Pepper wings and "Fish Wings" (a fish sauce and Thai sweet chili sauce) with no flour, gluten, soy, dairy or egg involved and they were mighty tasty if I do say so myself!
Wow, that looks like a feast fit for a king Taxy
Thanks guys. I will definitely slow roast leg of lamb again. Fall off the bone tender and no argument about "well done" or "rare/medium rare".Nice looking feast, Tax! That lamb looks beautiful.
I followed the instructions exactly in the recipe. An almost 2 kg leg of lamb for 4.5 hours in the oven. Was there water in the pan in your recipe?We did a slow cooked leg of lamb a few weeks back...for us it was tender enough, but not the fall off the bone we expected, maybe we did not cook it long enough.
We cooked it for 5 hours, it was about 1.5kg in size
How long did you cook yours for Taxy?
